Surnames: Ware, Bland Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JYVBAIB/287.376 Message Board Post: Ron, I joined Ancestry.com today. Allen G. Ware was also my great grandfather; Malinda Bland was my great grandmother. I have vague information that Allen's father was Jesse, who died in 1869. I'll be happy to share anything I find.
